    Razor : Yaqi 2nd generation Mellon head 316SSP with a Yaqi Chippendale SSP handle- Mfg 2023>, mid range. Machining and finish are excellent QC. I enjoy this Darwin looking handle from the 1940's (Darwin handle was stainless also!) The audio feedback is nice and helps indicate the sweet spot angle IMO. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
    Blade : Gillette Perma-Sharp(4) very sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity. Top tier blade for sure in my shave Den.
    Soap : Razorock M.F, nice cologne scented soap with excellent lather qualities. Very interesting luxury scent IMO, great post shave skin feel.
    Brush : Yaqi "Lucky dice" 26mm brown whiskers synthetic fan knot. Excellent lather generator, heavenly luxury cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Very nice 26mm fan knot(rare one ) that was bought on a sale.
    Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave : Razorock M.F splash[​IMG] with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results : Dial 10.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Yaqi 316 SSP Mellon head razor with a Perma-sharp blade.

    The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #292 High Mountain White Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Damaskeene Razor and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel followed by Duru Cologne After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    There’s a real jerk who bought this soap and aftershave and he emailed me and said that he thinks I’m stupid for commenting on the scent of this soap and aftershave being exactly like the Shulton Old Spice. He says it doesn’t even smell the P&G version. I told him to stop complaining and to give the soap and aftershave to someone who might enjoy them. Then I blocked him.
